Apex Legends came out over 2 years ago and in that time the battle royale has become one of the most popular online shooters. Now, battle royale could be coming to Netflix with its own series!
Just recently, there were rumors that Netflix might be expanding into gaming. While it’s not yet clear to what extent, the streaming giant has already produced numerous series based on video games. A Final Fantasy series is said to be coming, and Apex Legends could be next. According to a recent Reddit post by Ryan K. Rigney, Director of Comms at Respawn Entertainment, the famous battle royale shooter will get a TV show.
Rigney was asked by a fan if we will see more multiplayer modes in the future and if an Apex Legends series is in the works. The Respawn representative gave an affirmative answer to the first question, using an emoji with a mouth pulled shut. Rigney didn’t elaborate, so there’s not much information to work with here. For all we know, it could just be bullshit. On the other hand, EA and Respawn could already be working on a series.
Respawn would love to do an Apex Legends series with Netflix
An Apex Legends Netflix series is very plausible if we take a look at the past. Almost a year ago, Apex Legends game director Chad Grenier revealed in an interview with GamesRadar that he was open to a Netflix series:
Yes, I would love to do that. That sounds fantastic. A Netflix series on Apex Legends? I’d be up for that! I think right now we’re focused on developing the game, but if someone wants to suggest something to me, I’ll listen.
The possibilities for an Apex Legends series are endless.
If an Apex Legends series comes or is already in the works, the possible storylines could revolve around many things. Each of the Legends in Apex has a cool backstory that can probably be expanded for an entire – Season . Another possibility is the Titanfall lore, since Apex Legends is set in the same universe. This would undoubtedly please many of the hardcore Titanfall players who switched to Apex at some point.
What is actually… “Apex Legends?
Within 24 hours, “Apex Legends” became the most-watched game on Twitch – after one week, over 25 million people were already playing it. What is the battle royale shooter about?
What is “Apex Legends” about?
Scenario: In a distant future, bandits, adventurers, and outlaws settle their disputes in a sporting contest to the death. The setting is a fertile, industrially developed valley on the edge of the galaxy.
- Genre: Battle Royale shooter
- Game modes: survival battle between a maximum of 20 teams of three.
At its core, “Apex Legends” is a classic battle-royale shooter: up to 60 players land simultaneously in teams of three on the game map called “Kings Canyon” – a densely built-up, fertile valley with many accessible houses, bunkers and towers. Once on the ground, unarmed players must search their surroundings for equipment and ammunition. The goal of the game is to stay alive until the end.
To prevent players from hiding all over the map and waiting to automatically be the last one left, the game area shrinks every few minutes. The longer a round lasts, the smaller the area where survivors can move and hide.
Apex Legends refreshes this now classic game formula with some ideas that are unique to the genre: For example, before starting a round, players select one of eight heroes, each of which has two special abilities and facilitates certain play styles.
Bangalore, for example, is the classic soldier who can conceal her position with smoke grenades and call in an artillery strike in an emergency. The heroine Lifeline, on the other hand, can summon a drone to heal teammates – or directly order the delivery of high-value weapons and equipment via aerial drone. This way, all players can find the right hero for their preferred course of action.
How can I play Apex Legends?
Platform: “Apex Legends” is available for PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4.
Price: The battle royale shooter is a “Free to Play” title and can basically be played for free on all platforms.
In-game purchases: “Apex Legends” allows the purchase of cosmetic items and new heroes either by means of in-game currency, which can be earned for free in every round, or with real money. The real-money currency “Apex Coins” can be purchased in five different amounts: The smallest possible amount is 1000 Apex Points for around 9.99 euros, while the largest pack with 10,000 Apex Points content costs 99.99 euros.
The developer emphasizes that it is not possible to buy game advantages with the help of real money: You can only use it to customize the appearance of the heroes, it says, or purchase new heroes.
Age rating: “Apex Legends” does not have a youth rating (USK 18).
Which technical terms should you know?
Respawn Beacon: If a player is shot down, the team members who are still alive have the opportunity to bring the fallen comrade back into the game: Each eliminated player leaves behind a so-called Respawn Banner, which can be collected by the players of the own team and handed in at one of 28 Respawn Beacons, certain locations on the map. If this succeeds, the fallen player returns to the game.
Jumpmaster: At the beginning of the game, one of the maximum three players of a team always takes on the role of the jumpmaster. He decides when and where his team enters the game area.
Ping: Using the middle mouse button, players can alert their teammates to interesting locations in the game world or enemies. These pings are a valuable tool for communicating quickly and efficiently within the team.
